| SECTION 3: Hazards Identification | |
|---|---|
| Emergency Overview: | Corrosive. Ingestion of moderate amounts of soluble iron salts leads to lethargy, nausea, fast weak pulse, coma and death. May cause liver damage. |
| Primary Routes of Exposure: | Ingestion, inhalation, eyes, skin |
| Eye Contact: | Causes burns to the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | Causes burns to the skin with redness and pain. |
| Inhalation: | Dust causes coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath, headache, nausea and vomiting. |
| Ingestion: | Soluble iron salts may cause poisoning. Harmful if swallowed. |
| Acute Health Effects: | Pink urine discoloration is a strong indicator of iron poisoning. Liver damage, coma and death may follow, sometimes delayed as long as three days. Antidotes may be administered by expert medical personnel. |
| Chronic Health Effects: | Prolonged ingestion may lead to damage to the liver and pancreas. Prolonged inhalation of dusts may cause pulmonary fibrosis. |
| NTP: | No |

| SECTION 4: First Aid Measures | |
|---|---|
| Eye Exposure: | Immediately flush the eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 10-15 minutes. A victim may need assistance in keeping their eye lids open. Get immediate medical attention. |
| Skin Exposure: | Wash the affected area with water. Remove contaminated clothes if necessary. Seek medical assistance if irritation persists. |
| Inhalation: | Remove the victim to fresh air. Closely monitor the victim for signs of respiratory problems, such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, wheezing, or pain. In such cases seek immediate medical assistance. |
| Ingestion: | Seek medical attention immediately. Keep the victim calm. Give the victim water (only if conscious). Induce vomiting only if directed by medical personnel. |
